When The Faraway Gang first launched, our dream was to create clothes that felt magical—full of colour, comfort, and story. Our signature knits quickly became favourites: cosy, characterful jumpers made to last, pass down, and treasure.
But somewhere along the way, something shifted. Our amazing community started asking: Can I make one myself? And honestly? We loved that idea.
So, we decided to evolve—from designing ready-to-wear knits to offering our very own knitting patterns. Now, you can stitch a piece of The Faraway Gang magic from the comfort of your own home.
Why We Made the Shift
We believe clothing should tell a story—and what better story than one you've made yourself? Sharing our knit patterns means you’re not just wearing something beautiful, you're creating it. Every stitch holds your time, your energy, and your creativity. That’s incredibly special.
And let’s not forget: hand-knitting is having a moment (and rightly so). It’s calming, mindful, and deeply satisfying. Whether you’re new to knitting or an old pro, crafting something for your child, yourself (or as a gift) adds a whole new layer of meaning.
What You Can Expect from Our Patterns
Just like our finished pieces, our knitting patterns are:
-
Designed with character – full of the colour, fun, and details we’re known for
-
Inclusive – with unisex, timeless styles that suit every person
-
Made to last – with yarn recommendations for natural fibres and durability
-
Clear and beginner-friendly – because we want everyone to feel confident giving it a go
Each pattern includes detailed instructions, sizing guides, and tips to help you get it just right. You’ll also find style notes so you can personalise your project—whether you’re going bold with colour or keeping it soft and subtle.
Stitching Sustainability
Creating your own knitwear is a beautiful way to slow down and reconnect with the process behind what we wear. By choosing to make instead of mass-produce, you're embracing a more sustainable, intentional way of dressing your family.
And, of course, a handmade jumper becomes more than just clothing. It becomes a keepsake. An heirloom. Something passed down with pride, story, and stitches full of love.
What’s Next?
This is just the beginning of our pattern library! We’ll be releasing more designs—some familiar favourites and some brand new—with the same Faraway Gang spirit you know and love.
We can’t wait to see what you create. So if you pick up your needles and start stitching, please tag us or drop us a message. Sharing the process is half the joy.
